Let’s face it, seat belts are a good idea. This statement is in no way controversial, and all who try to argue against it aren’t just “expressing an opinion” or “arguing the other side”, they are just plain wrong.

Seat belts were designed to keep you safely in the car in the event of a crash, rather than getting blasted through a window to land on a fence post, over a guardrail down an embankment or into oncoming traffic.

They are a Very Good Idea that have been implemented spectacularly well all over the world (mostly — looking at you, New Hampshire, US).

As simple and effective as they are, I cannot believe that there are people living and driving today who still don’t put them on, but there are.
